The dipstick under the drivers seat is for the gear box.

@sorcereyes I never needed to mess with mine so I don't know and I sold my Bongo 2 weeks ago.

any chance you can point out where the steering fluid reservoir is?

How many owners have never bothered to check their oil because it is a pain in the ass? I know that engine location isn't exclusive to these vans, but I've never seen another requiring removal of the console. Was there at least an oil level warning light in these?

Hmm, rather a faff for a dipstick, I think id rather open the bonnet.

Is it safe to have an engine so close to the passengers? What if the engine blows, will you get a valve in your forehead? Also, any lose exhaust gas at manifold is more likely to get into the cockpit?- I'm just thinking of older Bongos?

Also, is there a heat issue in the cockpit/do you have a permanently heated passenger seat?

some people would never find this! so nice to know your bongo has proberbly never had its oil checked and has often run low inbetween services
